Title: 1.6 or 1.3 radiator?
Post by: 87 sammi on December 19, 2007, 09:04:50 PM

i am right in the middle of swapping a 1.6 8v into my samurai and i am not sure what radiator to use. do i use the original 1.3 one or will that overheat on me? if i go with the 1.6 one, any ideas or pics to show me how to secure it in the engine bay? anything would help so let me know what you think. thanks

Ive done it both ways  Id try the 1.3 first it already there(Never had overheating issues w/ a good rad ) and if you have or are going to have  power stering it gets tight w/ the 1.6 radiator  but... I mounted the 1.6 by welding lower brackets that round isolaters fit into  onto samurai & made some brackets that bolt to top of radiator & screw to top of the ft/toip of core support
